Coalbed Methane

• Independent assessment of CBM resources underlying a large, multiple coal seam deposit in Central Utah. Available drill hole desorption data and CBM well performance on nearby properties were assessed, as well as access to the existing gas pipeline infrastructure. Preliminary opinion of CBM potential reserves was provided, as well as our opinion regarding current valuation and a strategic approach to develop the CBM resources while maximizing value to the CBM owner.



• Completed a Phase 1 preliminary evaluation of the CBM recovery potential at three large underground coal mines in Poland. Scope of the Phase 1 study included an estimate of CBM resources, overview of current CBM drainage techniques and practices at each mine, and recommendations on CBM recovery system techniques.



• Independent assessment and valuation of the active CBM recovery operations and future CBM reserves of one of the largest CBM producers in the US. Reviewed and commended on the company’s reported CBM reserves and gas production projections. BOYD then developed our independent valuation of the CBM operations.



• Completed a desktop valuation of a major coal company’s gas reserves and resources. The operations are predominantly coalbed methane (CBM) recovery and subsequent sales. Our due diligence study included a review of reported reserves, existing gas operations, and five-year forecasts. Forecasts of future gas prices were also reviewed in assessing risks with overall company business plan.
